These are 10 things that people do that when we were younger, we considered very uncool, very cringe, and now as an adult are considered the height of coolness. Being ginger. Playing a musical instrument, or, like, being in an orchestra, solo, anything, going for dinner on your own, going to the cinema on your own, you name it. Being gay. Like, being opinionated in general was very frowned upon as a child. You know, if a teacher said something nasty or treated someone unfairly, there would be someone in the class, usually, I think it was a girl, that would, like, call them out on their bullshit. And I feel like the general consensus was like, oh, will she ever relax? Like, she's so intense. Like, let it no, whatever. Whereas when you get older, you realize it's the people that have passion, that have opinions, that have things to say, and that, like, care about stuff that usually are, like, the most interesting people to be around and that, like, do the best out of everybody because they care enough to do the thing that they're gonna do. No having a phone or social media or whatever, obviously, was considered very uncool then. If you meet someone that's like, no. I just didn't get wrapped into it. It's so fucking impressive. When we were younger, my dad didn't let us watch TV. So for the most part, we didn't actually have a TV. And then when we did get one, we would have to ask him to record certain things, and that was the only thing we could, like, access. So it had to be a documentary. Going to school, and everybody best like, oh, did you see the Big Brother last night or X Factor? And I'd be like, yeah. It was so good. Being sober. I feel like these days when I meet someone that is sober, my gut reaction is like, that's cool. Like, you're just not doing the thing that everybody else is doing. Then we have niche hobbies. It Could be anything. The more niche, the more uncool it was and the more cool it is now, I would argue. Wearing secondhand.
